Pay attention, you stupid people! Fools, when will you be wise?

你们民间的畜类人当思想；你们愚顽人到几时才有智慧呢？

百姓中像畜牲一般的人当思想，你们愚昧人要到几时才有智慧呢？

Take notice, you senseless ones among the people; you fools, when will you become wise?

You who aren’t wise, pay attention. You foolish people, when will you become wise?

Understand, O dullest of the people! Fools, when will you be wise?

Think again, you fools! When will you finally catch on?

Pay attention, you stupid ones among the people; And when will you understand, foolish ones?

Understand, you senseless among the people; And you fools, when will you be wise?

Consider, ye brutish among the people; And ye fools, when will ye be wise?

Pay attention, you stupid people! Fools, when will you be wise?

Understand, ye brutish among the people: and[ ye] fools, when will ye be wise?

Take notice of this, you ignorant people! You fools, when will you ever understand?

Consider, you senseless among the people; you fools, when will you be wise?

A stupid person does not know, a fool does not understand this:

For one can see that the wise die; the foolish and stupid also pass away. Then they leave their wealth to others.

There is no one who understands; there is no one who seeks God.

For we too were once foolish, disobedient, deceived, enslaved by various passions and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, detesting one another.

They are both stupid and foolish, instructed by worthless idols made of wood!

If only they were wise, they would comprehend this; they would understand their fate.

“ How long, inexperienced ones, will you love ignorance? How long will you mockers enjoy mocking and you fools hate knowledge?

I was stupid and didn’t understand; I was an unthinking animal toward you.

Learn to be shrewd, you who are inexperienced; develop common sense, you who are foolish.

Whoever loves discipline loves knowledge, but one who hates correction is stupid.

When its branches dry out, they will be broken off. Women will come and make fires with them, for they are not a people with understanding. Therefore their Maker will not have compassion on them, and their Creator will not be gracious to them.

I have paid careful attention. They do not speak what is right. No one regrets his evil, asking,‘ What have I done?’ Everyone has stayed his course like a horse rushing into battle.Even storks in the sky know their seasons. Turtledoves, swallows, and cranes are aware of their migration, but my people do not know the requirements of the LORD.“ How can you claim,‘ We are wise; the law of the LORD is with us’? In fact, the lying pen of scribes has produced falsehood.
